LIBRARY RESEARCH
You can conduct research in the SGHS library in a number of ways. Exploring these options will help you narrow down your research question.
Physical Books: Nonfiction books on medical topics and issues can be found in and about the 610 section of the library. For example, a book about mental health is 616.89 and a book about smoking is 612. However, there are books about health and medical issues in other areas of the library as well. Search the online library catalog or ask the librarian for help. You can also search for books/topics in the library catalog here: https://sangabrielhs.goalexandria.com/
Online Research Databases: Go here https://sangabrielhs.goalexandria.com/ to access our library's online databases for topics, articles, research, and more. ProQuest eLibrary is a good place to start.
Research online: You can start by checking out the links on this page. If you are doing research online, make sure you are using reliable sources. In general, sources will need to have an author, for example, so if there is not an author listed on a webpage you will probably not be able to cite it as a source.
Take notes! You might find a good website to use as a source but then forget where it was - write it down and keep your notes (on paper or on a Google Doc) organized. If you are working with a group, you will want to create a shared Google Doc. See below for information about APA Style.
CITING SOURCES
The American Psychological Association (APA) is the preferred resource in Health Sciences.
